The disadvantages caused by the swing of a fish body were analyzed. The coordinate system of a two-joint robot fish was built. The hydrodynamic analysis of robot fish was developed. The dynamic simulation of a two-joint robot fish was carried out with the ADAMS software. The relationship between the swing of fish body and the mass distribution of robot fish, the relationship between the swing o...

In this paper, the suspension control of a Robot Fish with two 2-DOF pectoral fins, a caudal fin and a volume regulator is introduced. Because the diving depth of the robot fish is related to its volume and the hydrodynamic forces acting on its body, the suspension control is implemented by regulating the attack angle of pectoral fins and the volume of the robot fish body. The attack angle of p...

In this paper we explain the mechanical design of the robot herring that we have developed. The use of mechanical accumulators is a fundamental issue in the design of this robot. Two different types of mechanical accumulators are implemented and tested as a spine on the robot. We argue that using an Euler buckled spine, on a robot fish, will give more efficient robots and a naturally occurring ...

In This study, a new artificial fish-swarm optimization, to improve the foraging behavior of artificial fish swarm algorithm is closer to reality in order to let the fish foraging behavior, increase a look at the link (search) ambient, after examining environment, artificial fish can get more status information of the surrounding environment. Artificial fish screened from the information obtain...

In this work we describe an autonomous soft-bodied robot that is both self-contained and capable of rapid, continuum-body motion. We detail the design, modeling, fabrication, and control of the soft fish, focusing on enabling the robot to perform rapid escape responses. The robot employs a compliant body with embedded actuators emulating the slender anatomical form of a fish. In addition, the r...

In this paper, a novel design of a biomimetic robot fish is presented. Based on the propulsion and maneuvering mechanisms of real fishes, a tail mechanical structure with cams and connecting rods for fitting carangiform fish body wave is designed, which provides the main propulsion. Two pectoral fins are mounted, and each pectoral fin can flap separately and rotate freely. Coordinating the move...
